So I had a Ruger Vaquero 44 magnum that I was trying to sell and didn't have any luck so I bit the bullet which I really didn't care too much about the gun anyway and I took it to the local gun store and traded it in on something that I thought I would like better like a double action revolver and another caliber that I reload for. A 3-inch Colt King Cobra caught my eye. We negotiated out a very nice little deal. I have not shot it yet but I will tell you being a complete Smith & Wesson nut,I love old Smith & Wesson revolvers and I love double action revolvers. This cold king cobra has great fit and finish and a very nice double action trigger and a fairly decent single action trigger. For a modern production gun I am very pleased with it. I may never shoot maximum 357 Magnums out of it but I will certainly shoot my target load of a 357 Magnums. It actually fits my nylon pancake holster perfectly and is easier to grab than my J frame out of the holster. I think this is going to be a nice addition so if anyone is considering a six shot revolver and you don't know what to get make sure you throw the Colt King Cobra on your list. I actually like the nice deep Square trench rear sight and the gold bead front sight. I plan on making this a daily driver and having a lot of fun with it.
